Please clarify this for me - The number here, 1005/67 is my visa number? I suppose it seems obvious, but there's numerous other Thai stamps in my passport with numbers (primarily on re-entry stamps). 

I'm filling out the digital arrival card online and trying to avoid any mistakes.

Thanks.

Answer summary

The visa number you're referring to (1005/67) is not applicable for the digital arrival card (TDAC), as it pertains to your old visa which is no longer valid. Instead, you should use the number from your re-entry permit, which reflects your current valid status in Thailand. It's also clarified that the visa number is not a mandatory field in the TDAC form, so you may leave it blank if necessary.

@Zam *******

is the visa number even a mandatory field?

I ask because IF someone is comin' in free stamp "visa exempt" they have no visa number to put in that field 😕

To me the visa number is the number of the stamp that lets you STAY in thailand and all a re-entry permit does is let you IN when you'll get stamped until the visa (actually extension) expires

That is an in-country issued 90 day Non-O Visa issued 25-Jun-2024 so the holder would now be on the first 12 month Extension of Stay

The TDAC doesn't commence until May 1, 2025, so the earliest that you can submit it, is April 28. Earlier today, I watched a YouTube video and in the comments, someone said that there was an "invalid entry" for something they entered. I responded by advising of the date that the TDAC starts, which they somehow missed. You might be able to enter some information early, but you might find some issues and certainly can't submit it until April 28.

That WAS your visa number. You can see "USED" stamp on your visa. Your visa was used and is no longer valid.

What number you want to fill in TDAC with is the number on your re-entry permit.

You already have a "permitted until" stamp or "extension" stamp.

The "Visa Number" field on the arrival card refers to the document you enter on when you are approved to enter Thailand. Usually, it would be an actual visa. But for someone like you who is already in Thailand with a valid stay stamp, what lets you enter Thailand on is a re-entry permit.
